Let it Snow with a sub $100 snowmaking machine. Adam Fabio | usagoldmines.com

[Mattmopar] figured out how to get a white Christmas even if the weather isn’t frightful. He built a simple DIY snow making machine with a few plumbing parts, and tools you probably already have. Snowmaking machines used on the ski slopes cost tens of thousands of dollars. Even the “low-cost” home versions are $400 and up.

[Matt] cut things down to the basics.  Snowmaking requires two ingredients: Water and compressed air.  The water is coming from a cheap electric pressure washer he found used.  The air pressure is from an old air compressor. [Matt] is using his shop compressor – but even a cheap compressor will do fine.
